I just got this come through to my email, so I thought I would share it with you all it is short notice, Im going so if your in Ontario and go, ill see you there Regards Peter Atmel Tech on Tour is coming to Ontario in April http://training.atmel.com/TechOnTour_NorthAmerica ...

I've been playing with the GSM shield and the sms functions. As some of you may remember a while ago I was having problems with my mega and the shield. paulellison helped me out considerably with identifying problems with the mega and the shield using different pins and also we found the power drain could be quite high during some functions. Anyway, I have been playing with some ideas, using incoming sms messages to trigger events and so far I have got the Uno I am using to receive a test and, d ...

I was working on a project for my UNO that would randomly fade in and out the RGB and make different colors.. After troubleshooting.. I find that the green portion of the RGB LED is not working.. I tested it with a pretty well used 3.3 v watch battery. The red and blue work fine.. Since they closed the local Radio Shack.. I will have to order some I guess.. ...

Hi mates I was looking for something to read about sensors and found this site Meccanismo Complesso I have liked very much this tutorial Arduino: measuring the Earth’s magnetic field with the magnetometer HMC5883L | Meccanismo Complesso I hope this be interesting for someone ...

For all the hobbyist, maker community, students and beyond - we're supplying free reference designs that you can work with, take from and build up to make your own designs! No need to start from scratch! These PADS Arduino Uno & Arduino Uno SMD Rev3 reference design data sets have 19 files including: Schematic design in xDX Designer format (.prj ...

Enjoy this video prototype testing. It shows the Digital Potentiometer Lab Arduino Shield prototype demonstration. The device shown in the video is the number zero prototype while a full description on how it works, features, schematics and circuits are on the article I have published on Electro Schematicshttp://www.electroschematics.com/11453/digital-potentiometer-arduino-shield/. This shield is based on AD5206 digital potentiometer.
A note on the content The first part of the video s ...

Hi All As you all know it is International Arduino Day on the 28th of March, only 11 days away. I expect some of you are attending or running events. A few of us, including pizak , who are working on various levels or education are running an event at the University of Portsmouth, Hampshire on the south coast of the UK, (not the one in the US, New Hampshire I think. I don't know, people leave England and then use the same names for so many places.... ) Anyway, I asked element14 if they were ab ...

In my previous post on the subject I showed how to configure the Arduino Ethernet shield, in such a way you can save a lot of memory. Now it's time to use the shield for something useful. Arduino is mostly used to take data from sensors and to drive actuators to perform actions (such as motors, servos, relays, etc.). In this post we are going to use Arduino to collect some data (e.g. temperatures) and store them on a computer disk for subsequent analysis. As a physics teacher, in fact, I am inte ...

Hi, I've decided to record quick video using the ESP8266 ESP-01 WiFi Transceiver Module. It's just getting started guide in how to establish the serial communication to send AT commands with an Arduino or a FTDI programmer. I hope you find this video useful. You can also visit the link below for more information in how to use this module. http://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp8266 ...

This is the first of a series of posts devoted to the (clever) usage of Arduino, with particular emphasis to scientific tasks. The content of these posts will also be available on my free publications on using Arduino for scientific purposes: Scientific Arduino Programming. With respect to other similar posts, mine will not only show how to do something using Arduino: as a physics teacher I will explain why you are required to do that. In order to use any tool at its best, it is important to und ...

ok so i am new to arduino. i am trying to have one button turn on the led witch is in pin 13 and another button to turn it off but im having problems. when i press the button it turns on when i let off the button it goes off. here is my code so far. const int buttonPin = 2; // the number of the pushbutton pin const int ledPin = 13; // the number of the LED pin const int buttonPin1 = 3; // variables will change: int but ...
